Side Jeep Tour From Side Town: The Night Safari Pickup
Staying in Side itself? Alongside the two day tours, the town is collected for the night safari — a different pickup, a different season and a different age rule.
Short answer
The night safari calls at hotels in Side in the late afternoon, during its season — early June until mid-November — and only for guests aged 12 and over. It lasts about 5 hours at €35 a person, with the ride there and back in the fare. As on the day tours, your exact time comes the day before. All three tours collect from Side.
How the evening pickup differs
- When in the day: late in the afternoon, not after breakfast — the precise time follows the day before by phone or WhatsApp.
- Where: your hotel's main entrance gate, just as for the day tours.
- Who: guests aged 12 and over only; the evening sells no child or infant seat.
- Season: it opens in early June and closes in mid-November; from then until the next June only the day tours operate.
What the evening holds
Once collected, you are driven to the water. You see the Manavgat Waterfall in the evening and swim in Green Lake; then everyone boards a catamaran, where dinner is served and there is music and entertainment for the cruise. Dinner is in the fare; drinks are not. Guests do not drive, and the evening is not suited to people with mobility impairments.
No photographs of the night safari itself exist on our record, so the pictures on this site show the operator's day jeeps. The night safari page has the full detail.
Or a day tour from the town
Out of season, or with children younger than 12, the day is the answer: the classic jeep tour or the zoo route, both running all year, both calling at the town in the morning. Day tour or night safari? sets the two side by side.
Booking from Side
Pick the date and your hotel from the list below, or type its name. You pay in euros on the evening itself, to the team that collects you, and free cancellation runs up to 48 hours before. Kumköy is next door on the west, Sorgun on the east; the rest of the belt is on the pickup page. Through the form the earliest date is tomorrow; for a seat tonight, ask us on WhatsApp and we see what the evening can still take.
